Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, is a household name for football fans.

Travis Kelce, another Kansas City Chiefs star, isn’t just catching footballs; he’s catching business opportunities. 

This sports influencer boasts 6M Instagram followers and an above-average engagement rate of 9%.
